no two lists are the same

How we split your list.

Every brand splits differently. What you sell, how often people buy and how loyal they are all change the plan. Pick a made-up brand.

or split by anything

If it is in your store, your quiz, your reviews or your texts, we can build a group around it.

    We always start with the phone.

    Same brand, two rooms

    Email and texts are not the same job.

    Email
    Texts
    What it is for
    The story. Launches, the monthly edit, the why.
    The nudge. Drops, restocks, VIP first looks.
    How often
    1 to 2 a week
    2 to 4 a month, never after 8pm
    Length
    As long as it needs. Scroll is fine.
    Under 160 characters. One link.
    Best time
    Morning, when they sit down with coffee
    Lunch or early evening, phone in hand
    Who gets it
    Everyone who opens
    Buyers and the people who asked. Consent first, always.
    What wins
    A clear offer up top and one button
    Their name, a reason, and a short link

    They talk to each other. If the text goes out, the email waits. Nobody gets both in the same hour.

    We test everything

    Pick the winner.

    Subject lines, popups, HTML vs image, buttons. Two versions go out, the numbers pick. Take a guess.

      The Numbers

      What We Watch

      Opens alone don't pay the bills. These are the numbers that tell us if lifecycle is working.

      Signup rate
      How many visitors join the list. The whole Loop starts here.
      Welcome placed order rate
      How many new subscribers buy from the welcome series.
      Revenue per recipient
      What each message is worth. The fairest way to compare sends.
      Email + SMS share of revenue
      How much of the store's revenue comes from lifecycle.
      Repeat purchase rate
      How many first-time buyers come back. The real test of the Loop.
      Unsubscribe + spam rate
      The health check. Growth means nothing if the list is burning out.
